2014 University of Toronto Varsity Blues
Dan Sprukulis # 58
Starting Right Offensive Tackle
University of Toronto Varsity Blues offensive lineman Danny Sprukulis was recognized as one of the top freshman players in the OUA in 2013 being named to the All-Rookie list.
Standing at 6-foot-4, 300-pounds, Sprukulis (Oakville, Ont.) made an immediate impact on Toronto's offensive line, starting all eight games and helping the team to a 4-4 record, their first .500 record since the team won the Yates and Vanier Cup in 1993.
The all-rookie list is designed to identify exceptional freshmen and to give recognition for their outstanding rookie performances. The 2013 OUA all-rookies were selected by the OUA coaches through a nomination and vote process.

“It’s difficult balancing both engineering and football,” he said, when asked about playing high-level sports and navigating the challenging engineering curriculum. “Education always comes first with me…[but my] coaches and I work together, so that there are as few conflicts as possible, and I can try my best in both areas.” - Danny Sprukulis
